Myths and Facts About Sejuani

Myths and Facts About Sejuani

start Mach-5
1st recall: boots
3rd item should be: Mobility if you feel gank happy or Giant's Belt for survivability, IMO I would rush a Sunfire before mobility to farm faster and gank heavier
Warmog's
Bulwark
Situational: Randuin's, Frozen Heart, Locket of Solari, Abysmal Sceptar, Liandry's, or GA
(GA only if you're stomping hard like one of my games where I went 14/3/20)

End game:
Boots Mobility, Sunfire, Warmog, Bulwark, SoAG, Situational

Most of these items sport Health to buff the hell out of Northern Winds.

I used to play a fair bit of Sejuani back in Season 2 but haven't really got back into the swing of things in the pre-season and a big part of that is because I just couldn't work out how I should be building. Is Philosopher's Stone and Spirit Stone really a solid early investment because it seems an awful lot to invest into stats that offer you neither damage, nor genuine survivability?

Great question! Most junglers usually build either Spirit Stone or Madred's (in some cases, Wriggles) right off the bat. But Philo Stone? In Season 2, it used to be standard to build this and HoG and putter about midgame. Now, you farm unless a great ganking opportunity shows up, while getting tanky for teamfights. After putting this on Sejuani, you take a slight hit early in terms of teamfighting but because you can generally farm up a Warmogs before any real big fights occur it is negligible. And when you get Shurelia's, this generally pays for itself (in more ways than one). Add in a gp/10 item and her fast farming ability and you can get tankier faster than everyone else.

Easy answer: You do take a hit early, but if you counterpick their jungler (in other words, it isn't Lee Sin, Olaf, or Shaco) you don't have much to worry about because you will be able to farm up the required gold to become tanky faster than almost everyone else.

You can't compare Sejuani to Evelynn because the latter had a complete makeover in kit while Sej hasn't been changed since release. S3 didn't make Evelynn OP; rather, her changes did.

I'm just stating how I don't want her to end up getting reworked like Eve did to be better, and then everyone finds out she is amazingly OP after the buffs and she is nerfed to a worse place than where she already is (if that makes sense!).

Not OP, but maybe very viable. I agree, she dominates teamfights even moreso than Amumu does.

actually I believe that she is the fall back to amumu since he is always banned at lower elo games. In exchange for a weak early game her mid and late game is god like if you gank and give the enemy the "scare factor."

You know what I'm afraid of? a mass of people wanting to play her after her rework and seeing horrible Sejuani players EVERYWHERE who tarnish the name of our queen. I played Sejuani ever since my level was 25 and I kept playing her till I was level 30. I literally devoted most of my League time to Sejuani because she was so powerful and underplayed even during Season 2.

That's probably a big part of where I was going wrong then. I was still very much in the gank-heavy support-tank mindset left over from Season 2 and thus, more often than not, tended to find myself heading towards an early Bulwark, rather than selfish survivability. I don't really play this game a great deal now, having largely moved over to DotA 2, but I'll certainly give that a shot when I next find myself playing LoL. Thanks.

This right here is why Sejuani and Karma do not need a rework. Not only are they high skill cap champs that are godly in our capable hands, a rework would allow the bads to spam both of them and embarass them considerably
